In depth
Verdict
A competitive staying event where the TEAMtalk vote is given to E Minor. The blushing flame filly has progressed well since running over these longer trips and she can follow up her easy win on the all weather at Lingfield last time. Allinjim has enjoyed three wins from his last five starts at 12 furlongs and more. He should like the fast ground here and is not to be discounted lightly. Another one to consider is Romany Prince. Trainer David Elsworth gives the gelding his first staying test here, but he certainly shaped as though he would get further than when winning his Newmarket maiden over a mile-and-a-half in July. One other who is proven over the trip is Fourth Dimension and the booking of title-chasing Richard Hughes is a definite plus here.
